Using Python in PythonCaller or Python scripts of parameters does not allow easy commenting of code by calling a shortcut/hotkey on a block of code yet. This is possible in other IDE's such as Visual Studio Code with CTRL + /. Currently there is a workaround by putting # in front of every code row, but this can be quite tedious if you want to comment out a whole block of code with 20 rows.

Upvoted because it would be nice, but it's going to take time to implement all features a full IDE has. It's kind of a slippery slope as well. If/once they include commenting out, why not include text autocomplete, etc, etc

To me, a comment toggle is much more useful than other IDE features such as autocomplete. There are often times when I need to test a particular part of the code and don't want to run the rest of it. Copying to a text editor and pasting back in works but is tedious.

This would be great, and give even more opportunities. Maybe even Ada Lovelace would be happy :-) #adalovelaceday
Being able to export/import the code to a full IDE like VSCode from within FME (currently I copy paste) may be a better approach? I noted someone has already added this idea to the wish list.
